my new girlfriend is an alcoholic
By benafim
The Female Alcoholic She is skinny, thinness lines her face makes her look older than she is. Her green eyes dart about like a scared bird’s and her restless hands lit cigarettes which she hastily inhale and quickly stub out into a posh ashtray nicked from an expensive nightclub. “You are very slim” I say. “I could do with losing a few more pounds, you should have seen me last year when I was still drinking I was bloated then, like a pregnant rhino” …”I haven’t had a drink for a year she says like an afterthought” “Now you look beautiful” I say. She giggles then break down and sobs… “I could kill for a drink she says” I hug her and till her crying stills. Poor little sparrow, on a twig, wishes to sing but lives in fear of the raven; all I can do to ease her pain is to hold her close and whisper words of love.
